8 Senate Democrats threw us under the bus. Instead of stepping up in a moment of great crisis, they decided to be the doormats the party is known for. Reopening the gov't isn't going to save the ACA & nothing that Republicans promise can be believed. #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansLieAboutEverything

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

Day #293 1. A reminder to my representatives Democracy is government where power held by the people Democracy is free & fair elections Democracy is majority rule w minority rights Democracy is rule of law applies to all Democracy is separation of powers. Democracy follows its Constitution

Just a reminder.

BREAKING: The First Circuit denies DOJ’s stay request in the SNAP case, refusing to stay the Nov. 6 enforcement order. Justice Jackson’s 48-hour clock started just before midnight Sunday, meaning the administrative stay she issued Friday ends at the end of the day Tuesday.

#GVerse Um. WTF??? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

So in one day, Trump has (1) released a known Russian military intelligence agent from prison; and (2) pardoned a Chinese espionage agent. He appears to seek to actually promote foreign espionage operations on US soil. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Hurricane Harvey's peak storm total rainfall was about 60 inches. Vietnam just saw this total and threw in an extra 8 inches of rain - and in one day??

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

TRUMP on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away." ALSO TRUMP:👇🏼💰💵💰

You can google this and prove it is a lie yourself. Google Walmart Thanksgiving meal 2024, then google for 2025. The 2024 meal had premium items and more of them. The 2025 meal is barebones and all generic. This is a lie.

Having called countless law-enforcement officers to the witness stand to testify, I’m appalled at the idea of federal law-enforcement agents lying.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world. The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

When I was a young newly divorced mom of two girls and going back into the workforce Head Start saved me and my girls. It breaks my heart that this essential program will be no more. Are we GREAT YET? apple.news/AB_GschKKQxu...

This is amazing and a total game changer for our tanking economy but release the Epstein files.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich. American capitalism is off the rails.

“Internally, Meta estimates that users across its apps in total encounter 15 billion ‘high risk’ scam ads a day.”

When official sources of information dry up or become unreliable, rumors and conspiracy theories take their place. That does not always bode well for whoever is in power.

Thinking this level of inequality is unsustainable isn’t radical, thinking it isn’t is

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

Incredible.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

New Mexico could save the nation. We could.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

NEW: 12 Mississippi polling places have moved and 4 have been closed ahead of the Nov. 4 legislative special elections, an MFP investigation finds. Counties also have incorrect addresses in the state system for 11 polling places, risking sending some voters to the wrong location.

I am a US Navy veteran. My thoughts exactly.

The coal mine where Matt Cooper works is closing this year. So he started a geothermal drilling business, with a goal of hiring more displaced miners.

Thank you to everyone in the resistance working tirelessly to help get out the vote in Virginia and New Jersey! From door-knocking to phone-banking, your dedication is incredible! Volunteer sign-ups hit record highs. Thank you to Indivisible, Swing Left, and MoveOn for leading the charge!

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

I’m in the stage of grief where one criticizes the winning team’s generally bad city planning. #WorldSeries

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple video exhibits showing federal officers using extreme force against nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs Building. This is part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people. California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Prop 50 is California’s line in the sand. A YES vote is a vote to take power back from gerrymandered chaos and protect fair representation for every voter. Tune in LIVE at 3:30PM PT and be part of the rebellion: bit.ly/YesOn50Rally#YesOnProp5050
